Quoting

Allow us to quote other messages, and optionally quotes in general.
It would look something like this: http://i.imgur.com/7Lbn6Bw.png
And it would build off of the basic Markdown used by Discord:
> hey
> imagine if we could quote people on discord

Optionally, if the quote links to an actual existing message, you could click on it to highlight it, like message pinning.

I keep waiting and waiting for this, but it never comes. I want to because Discord has a lot of very nice other stuff. Like a lot, but it's missing the ability for me to reply with easily sourced and documented contextual information in a post, making the textual chat client... Well... Unable to be used. Using code blocks is simply not a good enough replacement over a right click and quote message pop-up option.

Skype has quoting, and for all its faults, makes its use as a day to day chat client a far better experience. It's a rather simple feature, especially for something built in electron, to add.

The advantages are more than superficial organization:1) Multiple conversations can occur at once in a single room without a lot of confusion and minimal effort.2) Conversations which span long periods of time, such as hours or days can more easily be read without trying to scroll through other conversations.3) Guaranteed integrity of the quoted message.4) Attempting to look up the context of previous messages is far easier.

I don't like Skype, but the fact remains it's easier to communicate on it than Discord.

Is this thread even ever read by some developer? Seems that it's not. Otherwise it's obviously crazy to not add this missing quoting feature and instead only let the users add a reation to someone else's post. Or at least tell anyone that this feature will come... ^^

I don't think so guys, the thread has been sitting pretty for a while now, meanwhile my comment from a week ago (supporting the cause) has been sitting with "Pending approval", unable to be seen by anybody except myself.

I think, we have to create parallel request, to take more attention of developers. If this system is a command chat, it has to support markdown fully, especially quoting! In team chats quoting is the first thing! There are many free scripts for it, please do it!
